Duckworth’s Grill & Taphouse eyes growth across Carolinas as SouthPark restaurant opens


Duckworth’s Grill & Taphouse is now dishing up its signature Philly cheesesteaks in SouthPark.

Veteran restaurateur Rob Duckworth opened that roughly 12,000-square-foot, 200-seat restaurant this week at 4625 Piedmont Row Drive — formerly home to TacoMac.

The family-friendly sports bar also is known for its wings, burgers, salads, pizza and flatbreads as well as a robust beer selection. It has 70 beers on tap.

“There isn’t a lot of what we do in SouthPark,” Duckworth says. “What we have is pretty traditional.”
